Description

This house is NOT a drive-by! The understated elegance of this home’s exterior leads you to this special, contemporary split-level home offering over 3,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be amazed by how this home combines style, functionality, and an incredible sense of space. The light-filled, walk-out lower level is a true highlight, featuring a full in-law suite with its own kitchenette, wet-bar, wood-burning stove, and a full bathroom. This flexible area is ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or even a private retreat. Upstairs, the second floor is home to the Primary Bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with three additional bedrooms that share an updated hall bathroom. The current owners converted one of the bedrooms to a home office and moved washer/dryer to the second floor, but it can easily be relocated to the basement. The abundant natural light throughout the home enhances the beauty of the field-finished hardwood floors, which gleam with warmth and charm. The heart of this home is the classic eat-in kitchen, with Breakfast Nook. A center island offers a perfect spot for entertaining or quick meals, while the beadboard ceiling adds a touch of timeless elegance. Stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and direct access to the sunroom make this kitchen a true standout. The sunroom with radiant heated flooring is a cozy haven for the current owners, and is also perfect for reading, watching TV, or enjoying the backyard views. The spacious formal dining room and the sunken family room with its oversized, stone-encased gas fireplace are designed for both intimate gatherings and lively entertaining. The connection to the exquisite backyard makes indoor-outdoor living seamless. The rebuilt flagstone patio invites you to soak up the sun or dine under the stars, while the 1.15-acre lot with large shed offers endless possibilities—imagine a pool, sport court, or a fenced yard for Fido to roam. Step along the refreshed flagstone walkway to the striking red front door. In feng shui, red symbolizes good luck, prosperity, and fire energy—a fitting welcome for a home so full of warmth and charm. This worry-free home is as practical as it is beautiful, with a full-sized generator, a new roof, a radon mitigation system, and an expansive waterproofed basement which is perfect for your storage needs--it even has a utility sink too! This property is officially hooked up to public sewer, so ignore public records as there are no more septic worries here! Comfort is assured year-round with 4-zone oil-fired baseboard heat for cozy winters and 2-zone AC for cool summers. Located in an established Blue Bell neighborhood known for its large lots and unique homes, this property also offers aerial views of Bluestone Country Club. Proximity to major roadways (Rtes. 309, 476, 76), commuter rail, shopping, and some of the best dining in the area adds to its appeal. Plus, it’s in the highly regarded Wissahickon School District! This meticulously maintained home, with a thick file of upgrades and maintenance records, is one of the most buttoned-up properties you’ll find. Did I mention the LOW TAXES? Whether you’re looking for space, charm, or the perfect setup for multi-generational living, this home checks all the boxes. Schedule your showing today before it’s too late!
